Chose HubSpot Service Hub
Hubspot Automations are very powerful has it provides a drag-and-drop interface to create journeys on doing automation. It integrates seamlessly with the Hubspot CRM and the integration is much deeper and powerful
I'd recommend HubSpot Service Hub for sure. When switching from a different platform to HubSpot Service Hub orgs and admins can count with a vast number of trainings in HubSpot Academy and most of them are free. This means users will find the resources they need without needing to reach for their superiors for training sessions or guidance.
Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy.
We've had some issues setting up the Client Portal functionality because we merged with another company and are still operating under two domains; Setting up the Client Portal could be easier or they could provide better support to help us work through it
We've been able to do everything we need to do with HubSpot Service Hub
The biggest drawback that I am facing while using the platform is that their ticketing system is not that great [in my opinion]. It does not give us the option to add sales tax and other charges in the invoices which leads to a big problem for us.
I'd give it a 9 or 10 for the survey functionality because that is what we use regularly. I left it at an eight because we don't yet have experience with some of the other functionalities within the ServiceHub. Based on our demos, the ticketing system and the ChatBot are great, and we look forward to adding them soon.
I give [Zoho Desk] [an] overall usability score of 9. This is partly due to the search functionality needs improvement. There are several times where I am left unable to find a ticket and have to generate a new one. I am hoping in the future that they will make some changes!
As Zoho Support is based in a different timezone to ours it can be an issue that we cannot get an immediate response to an issue. But I will say that once their Support is in the office they are fairly good to respond. they have resolved almost all issues I have told them about, but Zoho have also made system changes and not communicated these beforehand which means we are faced with something new and cannot get support on this until their support team is in the office
HubSpot [Service Hub] had many integrations we needed to connect to our CRM, and the cost was just right from them VS the others. We had to look at all the features, and HubSpot CRM just had way more than the others and more bang for your buck. So the Service Hub was just a bonus with their CRM tools.
We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.
Easy to keep track of leads and track their journey into becoming a customer. For example, we can tell which leads open what emails and target people differently to help increase sales.
Even though HubSpot Service Hub is very expensive, I do think it is worth the price because we can keep track of all leads/ customers very easy, track the customer journey, rework emails with AI, etc.
HubSpot Service Hub also has reporting so you can track everything which helps to improve our sales
Zoho Desk has created an organised sytem of support which alows me to help my customers more efficiently.
By saving resolutions as articles, Zoho Desk has provided a training resource for current customers and support staff as part of solving problems.
All new customers become part of a database of customers who continue to receive support and education from forums created by the articles and customer questions.
